You got a real purty mouth, boy.

[trof]

Watching Deliverance on AMC.
Miz t.'s favorite movie.
not

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. Squeal like a piggy!

Ahh, what a movie.

[Divameow77]

2. ewww

that's so hard for me to watch

[trof]

3. Every woman I know hates it.

Most find it disgusting.
Guys seem fascinated by it.
Puzzling, considering the subject matter.
:shrug:

[Little Wing]

4. Then don't rent Vulgar

Deals with same topic, not a fun movie

[mondo joe]

5. How much do you think they had to pay Ned Beatty to run around in his

underwear squealing like a pig?

[trof]

6. Not enough, but I admire him for it.

That took guts, and old Ned sure had staying power.

[mondo joe]

7. How much would they have to pay you to do that?

[trof]

10. Well, now that I'm a geezer I have no shame.

Funny how that happens.
;-)
I guess $100,000 would do it.
30 years ago I would have asked 10 times that.

[GoneOffShore]

8. Have never seen it

Don't want to see it.

[ohiosmith]

9. Hey boy! Why you wanna fuck with that river?

[trof]

11. I'd like to know how they shot those river scenes.

When Drew is shot and the canoes dump.
It looks hairy as hell.
Wish they'd done one of those 'making-of-the-film' movies.

[Radical Activist]

13. Have you rented it on DVD lately?

It wasn't extensvie but they did have some interviews where they talk about filming. It sounds like it was very difficult.

[trof]

17. Thanks. Think I'll do that.

[cwydro]

12. My sister and my dad

went and messed with that river. She got dumped out and rinse cycled purty good.

[Radical Activist]

14. Its funny how many people view the South in terms of that movie.

I told someone I was going camping in the South and she was genuinely worried for my safety because she thought it would be like Deliverance.

16. true dat

My daughter invited a friend to spend the summer down here in coastal Alabama after they finished college.
He was from NH and his mom was worried that the rednecks or the Klan would get him.
He managed to come through it OK.
;-)

[trof]

15. Oh hell, I forgot that James Dickey played the sherrif at the end.

Cool.
He wrote the book.

[trof]

18. Burt Reynolds broke his coccyx

while going down the rapids when the canoe capsizes. Originally, a cloth dummy was used, but it looked too much "like a dummy going over a waterfall". After Reynolds was injured and recuperating, he asked, "How did it look?" The director replied, "Like a dummy going over a waterfall."
:rofl:

19. Jon Voight actually climbed the cliff.

To minimize costs, the production wasn't insured -- and the actors did their own stunts. (For instance, Jon Voight actually climbed the cliff.)

[Beausoir]

20. I remember the first and only time I saw that movie.

Had no idea what it was about. Settled down with my husband for a nice movie night at home. Made it about 30 minutes in and had to bail.

[trof]

21. I KNOW! And you'd think it would be guys who would be turned off.

:shrug:

[Schema Thing]

22. Thanks, it's probably the collagen

hah! didn't even have to start a copycat thread to get that one in.

[fishnfla]

23. Funny story about the author

Dickey liked his whiskey. One night he was out at a fancy restaurant where they have them little soapy dipping bowls to wash your finger tips-

So he plops himself down at the table and grabs a spoon and slurps down the soapsuds til the bowl is empty, sits back and exclaims: "damn, that was some of the best soup I ever had!"

[femmocrat]

24. OMG! I thought you were quoting Bush!

Isn't that what he said to the Canadian "Scotty" who was "purtier" than "his Scotty"?

[Glorfindel]

25. As a native of the north Georgia mountains....

I can testify to the accuracy of much of the content of "Deliverance": Great beauty being relentlessly despoiled by people; suspicion and fear of "outsiders"; widespread inbreeding (mostly due to lack of choices, to be fair about it); and morbid obsession with both ol'-time relgion and sexuality of every description. I never heard of any homosexual rape, though. I read the book before I saw the movie. It's a good read, as is James Dickey's "May Day Sermon," a longish epic poem dealing with many of the same themes. The Georgia mountains, despite the flaws of some of the people who lived there at the time, were a wonderful place to grow up. They're changing beyond any recognition, though, due to the influx of people caused by the "Zell Miller Parkway" :puke:
